With antithetical divine/human
spirit/nature
outside/inside oxymoronic opposition
where ecological true cannot be a false ego-unlogical thesis
and must be, at least LeftBrain deductively
left not not false right now,
holistically here
in time-spaced flows
of felt health climate passage.

sometimes too athletically,
fertile regeneratively,
viral, positive and negatively
and in-between sub-climax performing
some wins and some perpetual losses
more ambiguously back and forth, up and down, in and out,
and not nearly sensual enough–

every night,
Full through new moon great transitions
of climates black and brown deaths mattering
and terrifyingly splattering,
grey-scaled and white
and green despite
ultra-violet sepia
sophia health
and transparent integrity
resisting opaque mendacity
to show our hypocratic heads,
capital Lose to Lose infestments.

In last night’s dream
my mentor, Tenzin Gyatso
invited me to read his book
Beyond Religion aloud to him,
front to back,
left to right,
in my own English words,
my own healthy and toxic experiences,
green through ultra-violent red,
white nationalist entitlement,
and blue patriarchal patriotic
1950’s cultural flag-waving
commercialized jingo-bellism
about this new super scientific ZeroCentric messianic millennium
co-arising.

This left me with a whole system lot of How and Why questions.
My LeftFactual Brain was screaming about deductive obsessions
in alternating dissonant pain
and blind faith defensive denial and de-nihilistic boredom.

Mentor Tenzin seemed in no mood
to accept NoThanks! for my RSVP,
nor even Not-Right-This-Minute, please?

As I began to read beyond scientific polycultural religion,
s/he closed his eyes
and continued with his/her smile.

Strange fruit
for a Tibetan immigrant
homelessly schooled and exiled in India–
Longing for a First WesternWorld urbane ecology
Originally belonging within a small third brown MotherEarth culture
born of Buddhist health and pathology
eco-homeschooled education.

So I began near his Introduction’s top,
inviting us to
Look back over past homeless
and despised alien decades
against brown-skinned people,
to still find resilient reasons for healthy enchantment.
Through secular science advances,
some problematic social and economic and politically viral toxins
are slowly decomposing.

Tenzim opens his regenerate eyes,
still smiling,
as is his/her normal enchanting democratic constitution,
and asks me to back up,
start at his earlier revolutionary beginning
into the Genesis of Acknowledgments
inviting gratitude
for each past reader’s resilient wisdom.

And so I backed up
to continue forward:
It is my sincerely active hope
what is climate and cognitive researched here
may contribute,
in however small a cooperative-ownership way,
to building a more resiliently regenerate
and more polypathically green peaceful Earth.

Of course we are not secularly or sacredly reversing Earth’s unhealthy trends overnight.
And we will not WinWin change WinLose global culture
with a short essay
or even a longish and ancient multicultural humane-divine scripture.

If each naturalLeft and spiritualRight reader
ecological/theological leader
finds any co-relational integrity written and lived here
to be of resilient being and resonant doing health benefit,
then our cooperative enterprise and co-investments
will have been trans-sectarian wellness rewarded
with inside as outside regenerate wealth.

A scientific nature
disassociated from religious spirit
is a fundamentally wrong reading of divinely inspired experience,
without immediate or long-term health benefit.
Such readers should not dissonantly feel any Right MindBody awkwardness
about graciously and lovingly setting this non-sectarian essay aside
while waiting for your personal enlightenment Rapture
rooted in climate anxiety
and violent EarthTribe unnatural dismemberment,
and other miscellaneous disassociative denials
of WinWin organic integrity
co-arising resilient external light-preferential systems.

We have all heard about diverse roads
and rivers,
currents and currencies,
investments and co-investments less traveled,
worn,
tried.

The law and order rules of the road
and downstream river most rowed
are politically and economically empowered
of, by, and for punishing disorder,
dissonance,
uncivilized behaviors,
sociopathic paranoia and madness.

Yet the Golden Rules of upstream ecological sacred grace
speak of divine gift economies
and power of mutual cooperativity
along a Golden Ratio Equivalency PolyPath
of mutual cooperativity.

On this road less notnot traveled
we notice investments and disinvestments that can no longer fit
within individual ego-sized positive containers,
intended to be used only one time,
and then quietly disposed of
under our own independent authority
and responsibilities for restoring our accountable co-presence
back toward this upstream river’s timeless Source:

grace, and racism and religious-monoculturing supremacy,
anthrocentric health assurance, and prejudicial sexisms,
salvation of the World, and condemning judgment of Earth,
reward, and punishment,
pride, and yet also prejudice,
restoration, and retribution
love, and hate-marketing,
peace, but also war-mongering,
gratitude, but also bad attitude.

So I try to notice which way I am heading,
and remember no one chooses a unidirectional,
monocultural path
not first and frequently made by others,
whether Business As Usual,
or that Other Sacred UpStream One,
for those born as gifts
to carry our gifts forward
along this narrow double-binding polypath.

It is all very well for Mr. DesCartes
DeCation
to think with his mind
and therefore be with his body,
yet this fails to explain
why when I think happy and healthy
I feel like I am more,
and when I think sad and depressed
I feel like so much less.

Somewhere back in the sleepy land
of Cartesian dualism,
we can still recover the WinWin contrast of Eastern philosophy’s
co-arising nondualism
of mind and body,
what is spiritual is what is also natural,
what nurtures sacred wisdom
with what nurtures secular rationality,
but also other dualisms
not merely appositional contrasts between inside-Right
and outside-Left
evolutions
and revolutions,
but oppositional tensions between ecopolitical health and pathology.

Evangelical and Supremacist Trees Knowing Good Or Evil

may feel more Eastern,
and RightBrain seen and heard and smelled and felt,

of SecularLeft Yang with SacredElderRight Yin ethological discernment
re-combining both revolutionary regenerative health
as cooperatively grateful life trends
and evolutionary decomposing bilateral pathologies
through competing to subdue maladroit LoseLose death-trends.

Our Western difference between sacred health of mind
and reductive-secular pathologies of merely natural wishful-thinking therefore aming bodies
together provide a co-arising nondual bilateral view
of what we nutritionally/toxically are each day,
each year,
each life,
Yang cooperative and ecologically proudest for having achieved

but also as Yin grateful for co-arising decompositions,

Seven ReGenerations of Trees
knowing both good ecological nature
and bad egocentric spirits
paranoid about Earth’s LoseLose
Left v Right Cartesian dominant Western dualism.

We are fortunate,
but too seldom grateful,
to learn at least as much from our fears and fear-mongerers,
(not to mention any RightWing dominating elitist names)
as we have from our great sacred and academic loves
and fellow lovers of healthy wealth
for more humane acclimating climates
within as without
EarthTribe’s natural-spiritual landscapes.

How do we consume,
whether on-line or off-line,
in a doing justice way
to lives we digest
and excrete?

How do we produce
in justice doing ways
for lives invested with cooperative intent
design and long-term planning
by our ancestral Elders?
Themselves descended
from sacred creations
written by DNA and RNA,
kissing sacred cousins–
so this ain’t nothin’ perverse,
more like Yang cooperatively with Yin
rather than competitively against,
with his sooo typical
LeftBrain deductive-dominant languaged ways.

How do we consume and produce
nations and families,
tribes and guilds,
organic farms and forests,
cooperative incorporations of sacred healthy wealth
with as much systemic co-intelligence
and foresight as a MotherTree?

Is life truly good healthy wealth
because I wanted it to be that way,
or because it truly is good health wealth
that we all want to become?

Yes, probably both.
And the reverse might be pathologically true as well.

One Elder saying
less often found in wisdom literature
than versions of Golden Rules and Ratios:
“Never harvest more than half.”

This self-taking acts both ecologically
and analogically
as a Reverse Golden Rule.

WinWin ecopolitical and psychological
positive optimization of health outcome
rules and ratio estimations:
Never ego-take
more than half of what you need,
want,
prefer,
believe is your right
in cooperation with Others’ competing rights.

Golden EcoPolitical Rule, Corollary:
Always give back and re-invest grace received,
up to half,
with WinWin gratitude–
but not more than half.

Is life truly good healthy wealth
because Ego wanted me to be that way,
or because EarthLifeTribe truly is good health wealth
that Ego wants to continue becoming,
conjoining,
dipolar co-arising
WinWin?

Life is up to half about how you choose to play our relationships
with you,
but the remainder is about which ecopolitically ruled and ratioed game
we have learned to play,
WinWin global species democratic
or WinLose nationalistic
patriarchal dominant,
ego-ubercentric plutocratic,
Elitist EcoPolitics,
lacking our fair-share of grace to re-invest in Earth
and gratitude for health50%-wealth50% gifts received.

There are other Elder teachings
about Yang Light and Yin DualDark co-gravitating nurturing flowstreams,
Earth’s original revolving-spiraling ecological Mentors.
